Since there is already a picture of me in my school uniform on the sidebar, I decided that I would put this picture of me instead. Nighttime is my favorite time of the day. It's always been that way. Plus there is the fact that when Edward asked me out for the first time, it was late at night. He had been giving me funny looks during class and finally got the gumption to ask me out. Oh, and here is a really old picture of me. Wasn't I just the cutest baby? I had a ton of hair when I was born.

It's been a few days since I passed out in the Great Hall at dinner. I don't remember what happened but when I woke up I was in the infirmary. Apparently I had a really bad fever and was completely dehydrated. When I woke up, Edward was right there. I couldn't tell if he was mad at me for not going to the infirmary when he asked me to or if he was just glad that I was alright and just needed some rest and some fever reducing potion. But my gut instinct told me that he was happy to see me wake up healthier than that fateful night.

Tomorrow is picture day here at Hogwarts. At least I don't look pale as a ghost anymore. Edward promised me a surprise at the end of the week. I am kinda curious on what he is talking about but I will wait patiently. But now I have to get some sleep so I can be well rested for classes tomorrow.

I knew the moment I saw her this morning that she should have gone straight to the infirmary. But, she didn't listen to me and insisted that she was just fine. She was always the stubborn type. That was part of her charm.

I remembered how pale she looked this morning. Paler than usual. That was at breakfast and now I just sat here at the Ravenclaw table picking at my dinner and trying to keep an eye on her at the same time. Her sister kept looking at me with a worried expression on her face.

"How is she doing?" whispered Avada.

"She looks the same as she did earlier. Very pale... and she is just picking at her food. I should have just carried her to the infirmary."

Avada just grinned at that statement. "That would have been interesting to see."

I had to admit to myself that it would have been pretty funny. Then I gave a quick glance over to the Slytherin table and that is when I noticed she was gone.

I looked around the Great Hall frantically trying to find her. And then I spotted her walking slowly towards the entrance. She looked a little wobbly on her feet. Then it all happened so quickly. But it was like watching her in slow motion. She had paused for one brief second and the next second she was on the floor.

Damn it!!! I should have just taken her to the infirmary. By the time I got to her, I could hear the school nurse rushing towards us. Andromeda was unconscious and she looked even worse than she did this morning. Silly girl, she should have just listened to me.

"I tried to get her to go this morning but she wouldn't listen to me."

"Stupid, stupid girl. Edward, pick her up and come with me to the infirmary before she gets worse."

I quickly picked her up and followed Madam Pomfrey out of the Great Hall giving Avada one last look before leaving. The poor girl sat frozen in her seat and I could see tears starting to well up in her eyes. Thankfully, she was quickly surrounded by the other Ravenclaw girls who were trying to comfort her. I made a mental note to keep her updated on her sister's condition and then followed the school nurse to the infirmary.

Well, the new school term is about to begin and I have everything unpacked. I love being back down in the Snake Pit. My nerdy twin is back up in Ravenclaw. Pffftt.... She has already been teasing me about Edward. I just glared at her which sent her into a big fit of giggles. Rumor has it that the list of partners for the swap will be coming out sometime this weekend. Really looking forward to that. Plus I am wondering when our first trip to Hogsmeade will be. Edward has already told me that I am not allowed to go without him. Pfftt...like that would stop me. But it is more fun to go with him than my sister. She giggles to much for my taste.

Summer break was great fun. Edward came over quite often. Even mum was charmed by him. But then it is very easy to be charmed by him. It was very funny last term watching all the girls staring at him all last term. But for some reason, he picked me out of all the girls at school to go out with. He said it was because I was not like the other girls. Apparently he doesn't like girls who giggle alot either. Anyway, that is all for now. I have to meet Edward before we have dinner in the Great Hall.
